Changing jdbc driver classpath in Websphere Administrative console

Some background to the problem:
When I attempt to start my Application server (WAS 4.0.5), using the administrative console, I receive the following error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/microsoft/jdbcx/base/BaseXADataSource

I have a jdbc resource for SQL Server, which currently has a class path pointing to one of a number of .jars required for SQL server.

The problem:
I need to change this classpath to point to either:
- all of the required jars, individully
- the directory containing the .jars

However when I try to 'uninstall' the current jar in the classpath, I get this error:
com.ibm.ejs.sm.exception.JDBCDriverInActiveUseException

I have stopped both the Application Server and the Server Group, unintalled all applications deployed on the AppServer, and even stopped and restarted the node. But I am still getting this error!
What could possibly be using this driver, and how do I change this classpath? Is there a way to do this via the comand line, or in a configuration file somewhere?

Cheers,

Thanks - I believe this just worked the next time I revisited it...
Whatever process had been still using the database drivers had terminated, for whatever reason...!?
